Chapter 9 Custom-made hats

Li Yaoyu stood in the corridor and smirked, and was seen by the fifth Ming and a subordinate, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" ”

"Ahem! It's nothing. Li Yaowei coughed to hide his embarrassment, "Where are you going?" ”

"Let's go to the business."

"Oh." Li Yaowei thought that the Fifth Ming began to do business with the Fifth Wenbo at a very young age, and now he has the ability to manage all the businesses of the Fifth Ming.

If this person is placed in modern times, he must be a powerful business tycoon, sought after by everyone, with a group of wives and concubines, but unfortunately in the ancient times when agriculture was heavy and business was suppressed, his status was not as good as a peasant, and he was ridiculed every day by Liu Mao, who had read a few books.

Li Yaoji, who comes from modern times, naturally does not look down on him, but admires his business talent.

By the way, if I were to produce something modern in this era, and with his commercial ability, wouldn't I have to go to heaven?

Li Yaowei thought, but found that he couldn't do anything, he majored in computer science in college, so he couldn't type code in the Tang Dynasty, right? Neuropathy!

Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, my goal is to be a great writer.

Writing needs inspiration, and inspiration comes from life, "Xiaoxuan, go out with me." ”

Xiao Xuan ran out of the fifth Yao room, "Uncle, Miss...... Won't let you go out......"

Li Yaowei was speechless, he just wanted to go out for a walk, and he didn't plan to go out to wave, if he went to the kiln, he wouldn't take Xiaoxuan with him.

"Why?"

Xiao Xuan glanced at the room of Fifth Yao behind her, and said leisurely, "Miss wants you to stay at home with her." ”

Isn't she looking at him unpleasantly? Accompany her? "Madame taught you that?"

"Huh? No! Xiao Xuan hurriedly denied it, shaking her head even more rattle.

Li Yaowei was speechless, how afraid the couple of the Fifth Wenbo was that he would get into trouble outside.

"Don't worry, I just want to go out and breathe, I don't want to do anything."

"That'...... I'm going to talk to Miss. Xiaoxuan ran back to the room, and soon changed her clothes and went out.

……

Chang'an City has two cities, namely the east and west cities, and the city is a unit of administrative division in modern times, but in ancient times it meant a commercial area. The west city is more prosperous than the east city, and it is the most prosperous city in Chang'an City and even the country.

There are all kinds of shops, a dazzling array of goods, people who come and go, and pick up and pick up. It's just that in the Tang Dynasty and ancient China, women with a little wealth or power rarely went out, so most of the people who walked around the city were maids and servants.

Xiao Xuan followed behind Li Yaoyu with some rouge gouache she had just bought, her head down.

"Is there any money on the ground?"

"Huh? …… No. Xiao Xuan raised her head, her words unnatural.

"Where do you sell hats?" Li Yaowei has to buy a hat, his modern short hair is a part-time job in this era, and pedestrians have stopped to pay attention, pointing and talking, which makes Li Yaowei very uncomfortable.

"Why don't the protagonists pay attention to what he's dressed when they cross over? Sure enough, it's all a lie in fairy tales. Li Yaoyu thought in his heart.

"Hats? What is Hat? "Xiaoxuan is from the Tang Dynasty, so naturally I have never heard of such a hat.

"Uh...... Crown. ”

"Uncle, your hair is too short...... Can't tie the crown ......" Xiaoxuan looked strange, "The Book of Filial Piety" said: The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also. Li Yaoji's hairstyle was indeed a great unfilial piety in ancient times.

Of course Li Yaojian knew, "So what is there on my head that can block my hair?" ”

"There is a head." Xiao Xuan replied, pointing to a person on the street, "That's it." ”

“…… Isn't that a black gauze hat? Can only be brought by civil and military officials? Influenced by costume dramas, Li Yaowei thought that only officials could bring it.

"Ebony hat? Uncle, what are you talking about? ”

"Nothing, let's go check it out."

By the way, without a hat, Lao Tzu can do it himself. On the way, Li Yaojian thought, "Is there a straw hat or hat?" ”

"There is a hat...... Uncle, what are you going to dress yourself up into? ”

Dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a jade waist and a hat? Li Yaojie is not so stupid. He just wanted to make a hat like that.

The Han Chinese do not have their own hats, and the sun hat is currently popular in modern times, but this hat is not suitable for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yaozhen wanted to make a jazz hat, commonly known as the old man's hat, and those bigwigs in SH Beach wore a special style, and Li Yaozhen wanted to make it into a hat with the color of the Tang Dynasty.

It should also be a merit to turn this hat, which originated abroad, into a Chinese tradition.

"Li Xigongzi?" There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and some people recognized him, but there was no way, Li Yaoji's hair was indeed different.

"Hello." Li Yaojian used polite language.

“……”

Well, Li Yaowei didn't know how people in the Tang Dynasty should greet each other. But no matter what, the top priority is to find materials to make hats, "Is there any weaving in our family's business?" ”

Xiaoxuan thought for a while, "Yes." ”

……

……

"That's pretty much it. You can refer to the hat for the method. ”

Li Yaowei drew a rough pattern of a jazz hat on paper, but it was larger than the brim of a jazz hat and smaller than a hat.

"The color and pattern of this crown is up to you. Here, it is to be propped up with silver wire. Li Yaoyu asked, "No, you are free to play and make more than ten models, and I will pick again." ”

"Make a reward of fifty taels of silver, and the one I choose will reward one hundred taels." Li Yaowei said boldly. In the Tang Dynasty, ordinary families spent less than two taels of silver a year. Fifty years is a lot of money for those of them.

"Xiaoxuan, give them a hundred taels for material fees."

After explaining to the guy in the store, I bought a hat, that is, a black gauze hat, and walked out of the store, feeling much better.

"I'm a little hungry, Xiaoxuan, let's go eat." , so he took Xiaoxuan to the restaurant.

……

……

"Your status in the fifth family is quite high, right?" Li Yaowei found that Xiaoxuan not only knew the business of the fifth company well, but also knew many things in Chang'an City, such as the powerful and secrets, which was impossible for a maid to touch.

"Uncle, Xiaoxuan is just a maid......" Xiaoxuan naturally didn't dare to say anything, her identity was just a maid.

Li Yaoyu smiled and didn't say anything.

……

……

The restaurant is a great place to talk, but also a good place to listen to the news.

"Why does Chang'an always have guards traveling recently?"

"A few days ago, the Turks attacked again, and the emperor is sending troops."

"This border barbarian is really hateful."

"Lao Liu's son died at the hands of the Turks."

……

Turkic invaders? Li Yaowei remembered that in the ninth year of Wude, Li Jiancheng recommended that Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, replace Li Shimin, who was the king of Qin at the time, to go to the Turks, and asked Chi Jingde, the lieutenant of the Qin Palace, and others to accompany him, aiming to weaken Li Shimin's strength, and later the Xuanwumen Rebellion broke out.

"Xiaoxuan, what year is it now?"

"Hmm...... Eight years of martial arts. Xiao Xuan tilted her head and thought for a moment.

Eight years of martial arts? I'm such a pig's head. Li Yaowei scolded himself.

Li Yaowei remembered that Li Yuan had only been in power for a few years, so wouldn't it be possible to find out what year it was?

In the eighth year of Wude, it is now the twenty-first day of June. The time for the Xuanwumen Revolution has long passed. There is no news in Chang'an City, and Li Yuan did not issue an edict to appoint Li Shimin as the crown prince, indicating that this year is not 626 AD, that is, this year is 625.

Next year, Li Shimin will ascend the throne, and the most prosperous "Zhenguan rule" of the Tang Dynasty is also coming......
